[D] I [A]keep [F#m]going to the r[E]iver to pray[D]

VERSE (chords and tab)
My friends had you [F#m]figured out
Yeah, they saw what's[(F#m)] inside of you
You tried hiding [D]another you
But your evil was [B]coming through
These eyes sitting [F#m]on the wall
They watch every [(F#m)]move I make
Bright light living [D]in the shade
Your cold heart makes my [B]spirit shake

PRE-CHORUS
[A] I had to [Bm]go through hell to prove I'm [F#m]not insane

Yeah, it'[(E)]s still burning

VERSE (Chords and tab)
Each time that I t[F#m]hink you go
I turn around and you're[(F#m)] creeping in
And I let you und[D]er my skin
'Cause I love living [B]innocent
Boy you never [F#m]told me
True love was[(F#m)] going to hurt
True pain that I [D]don't deserve
Truth is that I [B]never learn
